City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

06/09/2020

BACKGROUND

1. Federal law authorizes the branches of the U.S. Military to enter into an intergovernmental support agreement (“IGSA”) with a state or local government for the purpose of providing, receiving, or sharing installation support services. Experience has shown that military installations can achieve substantial costs savings and obtain goods and services faster by entering into an IGSA with a state or local government, thereby increasing efficiency and military readiness. AACOG and LOCAL GOVERNMENT desire to assist Joint Base San Antonio (“JBSA”) in increasing efficiencies and reducing costs in the procurement of goods and services necessary to achieve JBSA’s mission objectives.

1. The purpose of this agreement is to create a voluntary procurement framework for AACOG and its member governments whereby AACOG will contract with its member governments (ie City of Schertz), including LOCAL GOVERNMENT, to provide goods and services to JBSA. The parties agree and understand that the primary goal of this agreement is not profit but, rather, to enhance JBSA’s ability to accomplish its mission in the most efficient manner possible. By procuring goods and services through AACOG and its member governments, JBSA may avoid higher costs and substantial time delays that are often encountered when using the Federal Acquisition Regulations.
2. Staff Recommends Council approve the Interlocal Agreement with AACOG as there is no financial impact to the City for this agreement.
